Big Names Owe Big-Time on Taxes
The IRS estimates that 21% of federal individual income taxes go unpaid each year - about $300 billion last year. As Tuesday's tax deadline approaches, Americans are settling accounts on $1.5 trillion in federal and state income taxes for 2007. But what about those who don't pay? Who are they? Do they get away with it? Hundreds of seemingly wealthy people - company presidents, former soap opera stars, top-selling real estate agents - live in multimillion-dollar homes yet have huge tax problems. Many tax delinquents live openly and prosperously for years, even decades, while owing millions of dollars in taxes. These include singer Dionne Warwick, comedian Sinbad, Bill Clinton's former political advisor, Dick Morris, former U.S. treasurer Catalina Vásquez Villalpando and infamous celebrity OJ Simpson to name a few.

Tax Nightmare: More Filers Are Falling Victim to Identity Thieves
Federal Trade Commission complaints involving tax returns linked to identity theft have risen 158% since 2003. Similar complaints to the IRS Taxpayer Advocate jumped to 3,327 in federal fiscal year 2007, up 644% in three years. Identity theft has emerged as one of the top problems facing taxpayers. Often, the goal is to collect an undeserved tax refund. File with one stolen identity, claim multiple dependents and apply for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit, and an identity thief can snag a tax refund worth thousands of dollars, or more.

Will Filing a Claim Boost Your Insurance Rates?
When should you make an insurance claim? For many, the answer is a no-brainer: "Whenever I have an accident or suffer damage to my house or car." Unfortunately, the decision about whether to file a claim is rarely so simple. In some cases, making a claim may cause an insurance company to raise your rates. In other instances, the decision to file a claim could put your name into a database that makes it difficult to get or maintain coverage in the future. Certain insurance claims are more likely to trigger an increase in premiums. Which ones could cost you?
